Paramount recently debuted the six-part Knuckles TV series on Paramount+, providing fans with a new Sonic the Hedgehog spin-off to enjoy. For those interested in adding the animated cartoon to their physical collection, preorders for the Blu-ray version of Knuckles are already open. Three different editions of Knuckles are up for preorder, with one option even including a collectible steelbook case. It’s important to note that preorders for Knuckles are currently limited to Blu-ray and DVD formats, with no mention yet of a potential 4K Blu-ray release in the future.
While an official release date has not been disclosed, Knuckles Blu-ray preorders are currently up on Amazon for $26. Given that the series just recently premiered on Paramount+ on April 26, it’s unlikely that the physical edition will arrive in the immediate future. However, one can anticipate a release window of a few months from now. In terms of pricing, the steelbook edition of the Blu-ray is priced at $32, while the standard Blu-ray and DVD editions come in at $26 and $18, respectively.
As of now, no special features have been announced for the upcoming Knuckles physical release. This lack of information is to be expected considering the absence of a concrete release date. However, fans may speculate that behind-the-scenes content or new shorts could be included. Keep an eye out in the upcoming weeks for any further details that may be revealed.
In the Knuckles TV show, Idris Elba reprises his role as Knuckles from the Sonic 2 film. The six-part live-action series follows the echidna as he mentors his protégé, Wade, teaching him combat skills and survival techniques. Initial reviews of the show have been mixed, with some critics stating that it “works pretty well” as a family-friendly budget comedy.
While awaiting the release of the Knuckles Blu-ray, fans can explore other Sonic the Hedgehog related content. For instance, the Sonic the Hedgehog 2-Movie Collection (Steelbook Edition) is currently discounted to $29, containing both the first and second movies in the series, along with bonus features such as a new animated short, bloopers, and deleted scenes. Furthermore, for those interested in revisiting Sonic’s animated TV history, there are options like the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Complete Series on Blu-ray, Sonic Boom’s complete series with a steelbook case, and the complete Sonic X series in English-dubbed format.
For those who prefer streaming, all six episodes of Knuckles are currently available on Paramount+. Whether you choose to stream digitally or wait for the physical release, Knuckles offers fans a new perspective on the Sonic universe.
